Winter Drilling vs. Wildlife 

Thomas says

letter off-target 

CHEYENNE (AP) — 

Wyoming’s senior U.S. 

senator says Gov. Dave 

Freudenthal was off-target 

in bypassing him and 

sending comments to other 

senators on the U.S. 

Energy and Natural 

Resources Committee 

concerning the effect of 

winter drilling for natural 

gas on the state’s wildlife. 

Freudenthal this week

Six new firefighter/EMTs join Sheridan Fire-Rescue

U.S. Senator 

might lift current restrictions on winter 

drilling. 

On Thursday, Cameron Hardy, 

spokesman for Sen. Craig Thomas, R- 

Wyo., contacted The Associated Press 

regarding Freudenthal’s contact with 

the New Mexico senators. 

‘‘The Senate Energy Committee 

has no plan to respond to the 

Wyoming governor’s letter about winter 

drilling because they don’t feel that 

Sheridan-area residents can sleep easier 

at night knowing there are six new firefighter/EMTs 

in training. 

The addition of the new firefighters 

means Sheridan Fire-Rescue is up to 

capacity for the first time in years. Now 

there are 30 firefighter/EMTs, with 10 

working per shift. They cover a population 

of some 26,000. 

Sheridan Fire-Rescue Chief Patrick 

Reitz said there were six positions vacant 

for various reasons, including retirement 

and employees moving away. Reitz said a 

full staff prevents problems such as bad 

morale and burnout. 

Reitz thanked Mayor Dave Kinskey, 

who attended the introduction, for supporting 

a budget that made hiring six new firefighters 

possible. Reitz called the addition- 

Deer Gift 

• Frugal Montana 

millionaire leaves bulk 

of estate for habitat 

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — LeRoy Beckman lived so 

frugally that he went to secondhand stores for hearing 

aids and heated only one room of his small Montana 

house. 

He got around in an old panel truck, favored bib 

overalls regardless of the occasion and found Social 

Security adequate in his old age. ‘‘He looked dirt 

poor,’’ said Jim McDermand of Billings. 

But Beckman left an estate upward of $3 million 

when he died in 1997, at 88. The Great Falls man 

essentially left the money to deer and hunters. Now, the 

Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is 

solidifying Beckman’s legacy. 

This month the agency’s commissioners voted to 

accept the fourth and final gift of land bought with 

Beckman’s money. His will requires the lands, which 

are contiguous, be managed for the good of wildlife 

and be open to hunters. 

With the latest purchase, the Beckman Wildlife 

Management Area in central Montana grows to about 

6,500 acres of grasslands, pine and fir trees, gentle 

slopes, coulees, the Judith River and, particularly 

important to Beckman, mule deer. 

The area also has antelope, wild turkeys, pheasants, 

foxes, coyotes, raptors, songbirds and an occasional 

mountain lion. 

Beckman’s generosity is ‘‘a testament to basic 

decency and civic involvement,’’ said Steve Doherty, 

chairman of the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks 

Commission. But the involvement came posthumously. 

People who knew Beckman say he was a loner, trusted 

few people and was happiest in the wild, hunting. 

‘‘He was intelligent, but people did not give him credit 

for that,’’ said Jim Luoma of Sand Coulee, who became 

Beckman’s friend through a mutual interest in guns. He 

said Beckman was the son of a single mother during part 

of his childhood, and knew what it was like to be poor. 

He farmed as a young man, put money in gold stocks and 

got a handsome return, then invested in oil, Luoma said.

wrote, ‘‘however, the governor

‘‘I don’t know why the 

governor doesn’t want to 

address the issues with 

Wyoming’s senior member

Committee.’’ 

Lara Azar, 

spokeswoman for 

Freudenthal, said Thursday 

that the governor’s office mistakenly 

failed to send the letter to both Thomas 

and Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. She 

attributed the mistake to a ‘‘clerical 

error.’’ 

Azar said the governor wrote to the

that his concerns have been registered,’’

He said the new recruits completed 

written tests, interviews and physical tests 

before they were chosen to join Sheridan 

Fire-Rescue. 

The firefighters come with a plethora of 

experience, including service in Iraq, 

working for volunteer fire departments and 

paramedic backgrounds. 

In an introduction at City Hall, Reitz 

told the recruits the importance of their job. 

“You’re not here for the job,” Reitz 

said. “You’re here for the way of life. If 

you are not dedicated, you will not succeed.”

they must undergo another two months of 

training to learn how Sheridan Fire-Rescue 

works.

‘Forward Sheridan’ 

officially kicks off 

• Four-year economic plan 

targets investment and jobs 

By Josh MItchell 


A four-year economic development initiative 

called Forward Sheridan kicked off Thursday 

with the announcement that more than $1.2 million 

has been raised to run the program. 

Forward Sheridan, which seeks to bring 

more and better paying jobs to the area, is a private, 

nonprofit group funded by local investors. 

Tom Perkins of Phoenix Fuel Corp., who 

serves on Forward Sheridan’s 10-member leadership 

council, says an economic development 

initiative of this magnitude is long overdue here. 

And he says Forward Sheridan will work. He 

calls Forward Sheridan’s goal of bringing 630 

new jobs to the area in four years “conservative.” 

The hope is that the new jobs will pay $15 an hour on average and 

result in $14.9 million in personal income. And the plan is for more than 

125 young families to move to the area. 

“I’ve seen this format do well,” said Perkins, who has also served on 

the Wyoming Business Council for five years. “You have to have buy-in 

from the local businesses. If you don’t, there isn’t going to be any growth 

inside or outside.” 

The kickoff for Forward Sheridan took place at the Holiday Inn and 

was attended by more than 100, including Wyoming State Treasurer 

Cynthia Lummis. 

In the past, Sheridan has not spent nearly as much money on economic 

development as other cities in the state. According to Forward Sheridan, 

Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie and Campbell County spend far more money 

than Sheridan, which spent $120,000 in 2004.

Poll: Majority questions 

Bush administration ethics 

in a time of war and scandal 

WASHINGTON 

(AP) — Most 

Americans say they 

aren’t impressed by the 

ethics and honesty of 

the Bush administration, 

already under 

scrutiny for its justifications 

for an unpopular 

war in Iraq and its role 

in the leak of a covert 

CIA officer’s identity. 

Almost six in 10 — 

57 percent — said they 

do not think the Bush 

administration has high 

ethical standards and 

the same portion says 

President Bush is not honest, an 

AP-Ipsos poll found. Just over four 

George 

W. Bush 

United States 

President 

in 10 say the administration 

has high ethical 

standards and that Bush 

is honest. Whites, 

Southerners and white 

evangelicals were most 

likely to believe Bush is 

honest. 

Bush, who 

promised in the 2000 

campaign to uphold 

‘‘honor and integrity’’ 

in the White House, last 

week ordered White 

House workers, from 

presidential advisers to 

low-ranking aides, to 

attend ethics classes. 

Poll shows Montanans support 

buffalo hunt, delisting of the wolf 

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — 

Montanans strongly favor the new 

bison hunt scheduled to start next 

week, and like the idea of removing 

the gray wolf from federal protection 

and opening up the state for 

more coal mining, results of a new 

poll shows 

The Montana State University- 

Billings poll also found strong support 

for raising the state’s minimum 

wage. Only 14 percent said the 

$5.15 minimum wage should stay 

the same, while 81 percent were

split on whether it should be raised 

by $1 or by $2. 

The bison hunt, set to make a 

comeback next week, had the support 

of 73 percent of the poll’s 

respondents. Only 18 percent 

opposed the hunt, and 9 percent 

were undecided. Among men, 80 

percent supported the hunt, while 

65 percent of women liked the idea. 

The random telephone poll was 

conducted Nov. 1-5 by sociology 

and political science students at 

MSU-Billings. The survey ques- 

tioned 401 adult Montanans. The 

poll has a margin of error of plus or 

minus five percentage points. 

A question asking if the gray 

wolf should be desisted, a hot topic 

among ranchers in the state, found 

that 57 percent said it is time to 

remove protections for the wolf. 

Twenty-eight percent opposed 

delisting the wolf, and 15 percent 

were undecided. 

Republicans and people living 

in rural areas were a little more likely 

to support delisting the wolf.

Rating system in works for early-childhood programs 

By Nathan Jerke 


The Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance is making 

sure the state is aware of a bill in the Joint Labor, Health 

and Social Services Committee that would create a rating 

and incentive program for early-childhood-development 

programs. 

The new program, which will go before the committee 

Monday in Casper, is part of the recommendation from a 

two-year study sparked by the Wyoming Children and 

Families Initiative. 

“The system will provide the foundation for children 

and families in our state,” said Deanna Frey, executive 

director of the Wyoming Children’s Action Alliance. 

“If we can provide the appropriate intervention, 

whether that be in the home or in the child-care center or 

preschool or Head Start, that child is going to be far more 

likely to succeed when they get to public school,” she 

said. 

Frey is traveling throughout the state this month to 

share details of the childhood-development system.

Freudenthal also wrote 

to Rep. Barbara Cubin, R- 

Wyo., last month expressing 

concern about legislation 

that would ease government 

restrictions on 

winter drilling. 

Azar said that although 

there has been discussion in 

the Senate about easing 

winter drilling restrictions, 

there has been no legislation 

introduced yet in the 

Senate to do so.

unfettered winter drilling will harm the state’s

In his letter this week, Freudenthal noted that his 

administration has worked out an agreement to allow 

winter drilling in the Pinedale area with an energy 

company willing to agree to certain restrictions. 

Despite Hardy’s statement that the Energy 

Committee won’t respond to Freudenthal’s letter, at 

least one of the New Mexico senators does intend to 

respond to him.

twice in Sheridan — 6:30 p.m. Monday and 11:30 

a.m. Tuesday, both in the CTEL, Whitney Building 

Room 136, at Sheridan College. 

Frey will also be in Buffalo at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at 

the Buffalo Children’s Center, 151 S. Klondike St. 

Frey said there are five different components to the 

system: a five-star quality-rating system to grade childcare 

programs; an incentive payment to providers that 

will correspond with the quality rating to help increase 

pay for workers and quality of care for children; professional 

development to increase education and longevity 

of staff members; technical assistance and grants for 

increased capacity; and parent support to help provide 

parenting tools, find child and health care, and develop 

contacts for local services. 

“Everyone from our lawmakers all the way down to 

our average person using child care is beginning to understand 

the impact of care in the early years,” said Sue 

Heuermann of the Department of Family Services in 

Sheridan. 

According to the DFS Web site, the Wyoming 

Children and Families Initiative was adopted by the 


It is estimated that it will cost $1.8 million 

to run Forward Sheridan, and $1.2 

million has already been raised through 

pledges from local individuals and businesses.

likely that Forward Sheridan coffers will 

have more than enough money, said 

Mayor Dave Kinskey, the campaign general 

chairman for Forward Sheridan.

Wyoming Legislature in March 2004. The initiative outlines 

a comprehensive plan to improve the lives and 

futures of children and families in Wyoming. 

“We’re in such a prime situation now to really make it 

happen here, for all of our kids. And not just special 

needs and not just low income, but for all of our children,” 

Heuermann said. 

Early-childhood development is only a small piece of 

the overall mission of the initiative, which could include 

recommendations for family health, schools and the judicial 

system. 

According to the Children’s Action Alliance, research 

has shown children who receive quality care before age 5 

are more successful in school and life. 

“I think there are a lot of people still that don’t have 

any idea what it is, and that’s why I’m out on the road, to 

help people understand what it’s about, what value it 

brings to our communities,” Frey said. 

Frey said when children receive proper intervention at 

an early age, they are more likely to succeed when entering 

school and are less likely to be held back, end up in 

special education, and get involved in drugs or the juvenile-justice 

system. 

The Forward Sheridan action plan was 

drafted by Atlanta-based National 

Community Development Services Inc. 

That company has also implemented plans 

for Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie, said 

John Posusta, one of the firm’s employees. 

But Sheridan faces several challenges 

when it comes to attracting workers. 

County wages are 28 percent below the 

U.S. average and 19 percent below 

Wyoming’s, according to Forward Sheridan. 

encouraged to shake up his staff and change 

the direction of White House policies. 

Concern about the administration’s 

ethics has been fueled by the controversy 

over flawed intelligence leading up to the 

Iraq war and the recent indictment of Vice 

President Dick Cheney’s top aide, I. Lewis 

‘‘Scooter’’ Libby, on charges of perjury and 

obstruction of justice for his role in the leak 

of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s name. 

That loss of trust complicates Bush’s 

efforts to rebuild his standing with the public. 

His job approval rating remains at his alltime 

low in the AP-Ipsos poll of 37 percent.

“When families go to work, they are assured their kids 

are not only in a safe and healthy environment, but are 

getting the appropriate interactions and the skills they will 

need to succeed in school better,” Frey said. 

She said there is also an economic impact for local 

communities, because money given to local child-care 

facilities through incentives and grants will likely be 

spent in those communities and will increase local 

employment. 

“I think it’s foolish to pay later; why not do it up front 

and avoid some of those problems? ... Society might benefit 

from more capable individuals growing up,” 

Heuermann said.

the draft bill for the early-childhood-development system.

scheduled for 1:15 p.m. in the Oil and Gas 

Commission Building at 2111 King Blvd. 

“The bottom line is, I don’t know how we can (go

model that Wyoming really does care about its children. 

“We care enough that we invest in them today for 

short-term and long-term benefits,” Frey said.

30-year mortgage 

rates at two-year high 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rates on 30-year 

mortgages jumped to the highest level in more 

than two years this week as financial markets 

grew more concerned about inflation. 

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported 

Thursday that the nationwide average for 30year, 

fixed-rate mortgages rose to 6.36 percent, 

up from 6.31 percent last week. That was the 

highest level since 30-year mortgages were at 

6.44 percent in early September 2003. 

Rates on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, a 

popular choice for refinancing a home mortgage, 

averaged 5.89 percent this week, up from 

5.85 percent last week. 

One-year adjustable rate mortgages rose to 

5.12 percent, up from 5.09 percent last week. 

Rates on five-year hybrid adjustable rate 

mortgages averaged 5.81 percent this week, up 

from 5.76 percent last week. 

The nationwide averages for mortgage rates 

do not include add-on fees known as points.

United to hire 2,000 flight 

attendants in coming year 

CHICAGO (AP) — United Airlines plans to 

hire 2,000 flight attendants in the coming year, 

the company said. 

United finished recalling furloughed attendants 

last month and has 15,500 on active duty, 

Jane Allen, senior vice president of onboard service, 

said Thursday. The airline, which has a 

hub in Denver, has not hired new cabin crew 

employees in more than four years. 

Allen said United needs additional attendants 

to staff more daily flying hours and international 

flights, as well as make up for attrition that 

has come during parent company UAL Corp.’s 

restructuring of the airline under Chapter 11 

bankruptcy protection.

Yahoo out of contention 

to buy stake in AOL 

NEW YORK (AP) — Yahoo Inc. has 

pulled out of discussions over buying a stake 

in America Online Inc., leaving Microsoft 

Corp. and Google Inc. as the leading potential 

suitors. 

The decision to abandon the talks came 

after Yahoo chief executive Terry Semel and 

chief finance officer Susan Decker met in late 

October with Time Warner executives in New 

York, said Yahoo spokeswoman Joanna 

Stevens. 

Stevens said Yahoo had ‘‘politely passed’’ 

on proposed terms and ‘‘walked away from 

any interest in a deal.’’ 

Two people close to the discussions said a 

key stumbling block was Time Warner Inc.’s 

insistence that it retain majority ownership in 

the AOL unit. They spoke on condition of 

anonymity because public discussions of any 

private negotiations were contrary to their 

companies’ policies.

Opinion THE 

SHERIDAN Press Friday, 

Rioting in France 

retreat from reality 

and hard decisions 

that reality requires 

Riots that began on the outskirts of Paris have 

spread into the center of the French capital and to other 

communities in other parts of the country. 

Thousands of cars have been set on fire and the police 

and even medical personnel have been shot at. 

Like many other riots, whether in France or elsewhere, 

this one started over an incident that just happened 

and was then seized upon to rally resentments 

and unleash violence. Two local boys in a predominantly 

Muslim neighborhood tried to escape the police 

by hiding in a facility that transmitted electricity — 

and accidently electrocuted themselves. 

This was the spark that ignited volatile emotions. 

But those emotions were there, 

ready to be ignited, for a long 

time. 

A substantial Muslim population 

lives in France but is not 

really of France. Much of that 

population lives in social isolation 

in housing projects 

away from the center of Paris, 

as unknown to many Parisians 

as to tourists. 

Like housing projects in 

Thomas 

Sowell 

Columnist 

America, many of these are 

centers of social degeneration, 

lawlessness and violence. 

Three years ago, profound 

British social critic Theodore 

Dalrymple wrote of “burned-out and eviscerated carcasses 

of cars everywhere” in these projects, among 

other signs of social degeneration. This was in an 

essay titled “The Barbarians at the Gates of Paris” that 

is reprinted in his insightful book, “Our Culture, 

What’s Left of It.” 

While Dr. Dalrymple called this Muslim underclass 

“barbarians,” a French minister who called the rioters 

“scum” provoked instant outrage against himself, 

including criticism from at least one member of his 

own government. This squeamishness in word and 

deed, and the accompanying refusal to face blatant 

realities is also a major part of the background for the 

breakdown of law and order and the social degeneration 

that follows. 

None of this is peculiar to France. It is a symptom 

of a common retreat from reality, and from the hard 

decisions that reality requires, not only in Europe but 

also in European offshoot societies like Canada, 

Australia, New Zealand — and the United States of 

America. 

European countries especially have thrown their 

doors open to a large influx of Moslem immigrants 

who have no intention of becoming part of the cultures 

of the countries to which they immigrate but to recreate 

their own cultures in those countries. 

In the name of tolerance, these countries have 

imported intolerance, of which growing antisemitism 

in Europe is just one example. In the name of respecting 

all cultures, Western nations have welcomed people 

who respect neither the cultures nor the rights of 

the population among whom they have settled. 

During the last election, some campus Republicans 

who were holding a rally for President Bush at San 

Francisco State University were harassed by Middle 

Eastern students, including a woman who walked up 

to one of these Americans and slapped his face. They 

knew they could do this with impunity. 

In Michigan, a Muslim community loudly sounds 

their calls to prayer several times a day, without regard 

to whether that sound bothers the original inhabitants 

of the community. 

The Dutch were shocked when one of their filmmakers 

was assassinated by a Muslim extremist for 

daring to have views at variance with what the extremists 

would tolerate. 

No one should have been shocked. There are people 

who will not stop until they get stopped — and 

much of the media, the political classes, and the cultural 

elites of the West cannot bring themselves to 

even criticize, much less stop, the dangers or degeneracy 

among groups viewed sympathetically as underdogs. 

Not all Muslims, nor necessarily a majority of 

Moslems, are either a cultural or a physical danger. 

But even “moderate” Muslim organizations in the 

West who deplore violence and try to discourage it 

nevertheless encourage their followers to remain foreigners 

rather than become part of the countries they 

live in. 

So do our own intelligentsia and political and cultural 

elites. Balkanization has been glorified as “diversity” 

and diversity has become too sacred to defile 

with anything so gross as hard facts. But reality is not 

optional. Our survival may in the long run be as menaced 

by degeneration within — from many sources 

and in many ways — as was that of the Roman 

Empire.

Would like to see rebate for 

Wyomingites over 18 years old 

Editor: 

In Saturday’s paper (Nov. 5), Patrick Murphy wrote an 

in-depth editorial on the subject of a rebate for Wyoming 

residents as proposed by Rep. David Miller of Riverton. 

This $2,000 rebate would come as a result of the budget 

surplus generated from our abundant energy resources. 

This is very similar to a proposal I suggested back in 

September to Rep. Rosie Berger of Big Horn. However, 

my proposal contained certain criteria for receiving such a 

rebate. 

Even though we are an energy-producing state, we will 

still feel the effects of higher energy costs for gasoline and 

home heating. 

I proposed that a $1,000-$2,000 rebate be given to 

every citizen over 18 years of age. (Children are not paying 

those heating bills.) 

In addition to this criterion, a stipulation should be 

made concerning residency. For example, a one-year 

proof of residency like that required by Game and Fish for 

a state game license might be a requirement in order to 

receive this rebate. 

Some term is necessary in order to eliminate people 

moving into the state for a few months just to receive the 

rebate. 

As a concerned citizen of Wyoming, I would want my 

government to continue to be fiscally responsible with our 

budget surpluses. 

That is why my proposal, which puts limitations on 

who receives the rebate, would make the amount much 

less than the forecast $1 billion. 

As we all know, such talk of rebates is purely hypothetical 

unless the Legislature enacts a change in our 

state’s constitution. However, if you are interested in the 

possibility of a rebate, contact your representative about it 

before the budget session in February. 

Even a one-time rebate would be a boost to the morale 

and pocketbook of most citizens of Wyoming.

“I don’t know of course,” I said to Willie, “but if 

the reports are right, the police just needed to keep 

him bottled up so he couldn’t hurt anybody and wait 

him out.” 

“That seems reasonable,” Willie grumped. “But 

iffen the guy was shootin’ 

’round, that’s a different story.” 

“Well,” I said, “they used 

some tear gas to try to get him 

out. And that didn’t work.” 

“Likely made him mad,” 

Willie grumped. “That’s nasty 

stuff. But I don’t know that he 

was hurtin’ anybody but his 

self. So what was the push ta

make him come out? 

“Sure, he shot up some windows 

an’ some pots an’ pans. 

Not too big a loss as compared 

ta a life. An’ he talked 

to a number of folks what was tryin’ ta get him ta surrender. 

Near as I know, he didn’t threaten any o’ 

them.”

Today’s Iraq compared 

to state of England in 1942 

Editor: 

The Iraqi people recently voted and passed a 

constitution. 

As Winston Churchill said on Nov. 10, 1942, as 

England, much as Iraq is now, was fighting for its 

democratic life, “Now this is not the end. It is not 

even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the 

end of the beginning.” 

One would hope so. 

And what is Iraq’s future? Churchill himself in a 

1939 radio broadcast wondered about Russia: “I 

cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a 

riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” 

To me this statement sums up Iraq’s future in 

spite of assertions of confidence from our leaders. 

But how shall we pay for this war? In September 

your guest columnist Daniel Kline said, “Lower taxes 

and you have economic growth; raise taxes and 

everything shrinks.” 

And the economic growth Kline so stoutly 

defends comes from gifts to the rich, the very rich, 

who have had to share less of their exorbitant 

wealth through lower taxes and thus stimulate the 

economy and through their increased wealth lower 

the deficit. 

Makes sense to me, I think. It’s like a car seller 

saying to you, “We’re going to cut your payments 

about 15 percent, and, by the way, don’t worry 

about the interest, because the Chinese and Japanese 

are loaning us lots of money.” 

It was a question last election of two candidates: 

one who would spend money on his war and not 

raise taxes, and the other candidate who would perhaps 

raise taxes and then spend the money on 

“social programs.” Simple choice for Wyoming. 

But in 2000 with a Republican Congress and a 

Democratic president, the U.S. government budget 

was balanced. Remember? 

Willie & Sunshine 

“He was breaking the law,” I said. “Probably a 

number of them.” 

“Ain’t no doubt ’bout that,” Willie agreed. “But the 

cure fer that was purty hard. An’ I’d surely hate ta be 

shot at ever’ time I broke a law. They’d be lots o’ 

shootin’ fer folks breakin’ the law speedin’.” 

“This is more serious than a speeding violation,” I 

answered. “The man was armed and shooting. He 

might have just been a lousy shot, but he was shooting” 

“Could be,” Willie agreed again. “But generally iffen 

ya got a gun, ya kin figger which end is dangerous, 

an’ iffen he was shootin’ at me, there would be a tendency 

ta shoot back. But the question is still what was 

the rush? 

MALLARD FILMORE by Bruce Tinsley

November 11, 2005 

The year 2004, according to Harper’s Index, was 

ranked first “among the most fiscally reckless years 

in U.S. history, according to the comptroller general.” 

It comes down to the legacy we are leaving those 

Americans who follow. George Bush has had about 

five years to deliver deficit reduction with his tax 

breaks aimed mostly at his rich compatriots. 

Someday our country will have to pay its debts, 

won’t it? How? And at the same time keep those 

services which government, believe it or not, does 

better than the private sector — build highways, 

provide Social Security, perhaps even health care, 

defend the country, put out fires, and help hurricane 

victims — those kinds of things. 

Well, what do you think? Or do you care? OK, let 

our children, grandchildren and their grandchildren pay 

off the deficit and curse us, rightly.

Asks citizens to donate 

extra Halloween candy 

Editor: 

In my experience the people in Sheridan County 

have shown themselves to be loving parents as well as 

generous, caring and concerned community members. 

Therefore, I am asking the community to donate 

“extra” Halloween candy to Sister Delores for the little 

children she teaches on the Lame Deer reservation. The 

candy is given to the children at Christmastime. 

Please bring donated candy to Holy Name Catholic 

School, 121 S. Connor St. Sister Delores will pick it up 

on her day off. May God bless you and your family for 

your generosity. 

Toni Wendt 

Holy Name School Principal 

I’d hate to be shot every time I broke the law 

“Accordin’ ta some o’ the witnesses, the building 

was completely surrounded. He was still talkin’ to 

some people, so why the rush?” 

“Maybe things changed ,” I offered. “Things do 

change, you know.” 

“Yeah,” Willie replied, “but I’m seein’ this rush-tacapture 

thin’ all over the country. Someplace — 

Montana, I think — a high-speed chase wound up with 

either the officer or the suspect gettin’ killed. 

“Jest a couple weeks ago one of our officers rolled 

his patrol car givin’ chase, rolled his police car an’ 

broke his shoulder. Ya read about it regular where a 

high-speed chase gets somebody hurt or killed. 

“Some chases is justified, but high speed is dangerous 

to ever’one in the area. An’ it don’t make much 

sense ta bruise up the neighborhood for an’ offense that 

is less dangerous than the cost o’ the chase. 

“This deal cost a life, an’ I don’t think it should 

have.” 

Willie tried his coffee and found it cold. 

“Thin’ is,” he said sourly, “this is sup’osta be a 

serve-protect fer all o’ us. So far it looks like this guy 

come up short.” 

That may be hard to argue with.

CDC: U.S. smoking rate continues to inch downward 

ATLANTA (AP) — The smoking 

rate among U.S. adults continues 

to inch downward, with 20.9 

percent of Americans describing 

themselves as regular puffers last 

year. 

That is a decline from 21.6 per- 

cent in 2003 and 22.5 percent in 

2002, the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention reported 

Thursday. 

The rate has fallen steadily since 

the late 1990s. The fall from 2002 

to 2004 was the largest two-year 

drop since the late 1980s, public 

health advocates noted. 

But officials said it appears 

increasingly unlikely the nation will 

reach the public health goal of 

reducing the smoking rate to 12 

percent by 2010.

Time is catching up with 

handful of World War I 

U.S. veterans alive today 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lloyd 

Brown remembers Armistice Day in 

1918 as few — ever so few — veterans 

can. 

‘‘For the servicemen there were 

lots of hugs and kisses,’’ recalls 

Brown, of Charlotte Hall, Md., a 

teenage seaman aboard the battleship 

USS New Hampshire, in port stateside 

when the fighting stopped. ‘‘We were 

so happy that the war was over.’’ 

Now 104, Brown adds, ‘‘There’s 

not too many of us around any more.’’ 

No one knows exactly how many of 

America’s World War I veterans will 

celebrate Veterans Day, which marks 

the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, that 

ended what then was considered the 

Great War. An estimated 2 million 

Americans served in Europe after the 

U.S. entered the war in 1917. 

Today, the Veterans Affairs 

Department lists just eight veterans as 

receiving disability benefits or pension 

compensation from service in World 

War I. It says a few dozen other veterans 

of the war probably are alive, too, 

but the government does not keep a 

comprehensive list. 

The Census Bureau stopped asking 

for data about those veterans years 

ago. Using a report of 65,000 alive in 

1990 as a baseline, the VA estimates 

that no more than 50 remain, perhaps 

as few as 30. 

World War I, fueled by intense 

nationalism and conflicting economic 

and colonial interests, began in the 

Balkans in 1914 and quickly spread 

across Europe because of military 

alliances. The major allied powers 

were Great Britain, France and Russia, 

and they were opposed by Germany, 

Austria-Hungary and a few others. 

The U.S. remained neutral even as 

Germany threatened its shipping and 

as anti-German sentiment grew among 

Americans. Congress declared war on 

Germany in April 1917 at the urging 

of President Woodrow Wilson. ‘‘The 

world must be made safe for democracy,’’ 

Wilson said. 

More than 10 million troops died 

before the war ended with Germany’s 

surrender. Of the U.S. troops, more 

than 116,000 died and more than 

200,000 were wounded. 

Long-lived veterans are common 

among America’s warriors. The last 

veteran to fight in the American 

Revolution died at age 109 in 1869, 

according to Defense Department 

statistics. 

Other wars and the ages of their last 

veterans the year they died: the War of 

1812, 105, 1905; the Indian Wars, 101, 

1973; the Mexican War, 98, 1929; the 

Civil War, 112, 1958; and the Spanish- 

American War, 106, 1992. 

The ranks of all World War I veterans 

grow thinner as the months pass. 

One of France’s seven remaining veterans 

died two weeks ago, and the last 

Australian to serve in a war zone died 

a week earlier. 

In the U.S., the last known 

American veteran wounded in the war 

died at 108 in January 2004. West 

Virginia’s last veteran passed away in 

October 2004, and Iowa lost its only 

remaining Great War veteran two 

months later. An Alabama veteran of 

the war died last March at 110. 

With each death, what was called 

‘‘the war to end all wars’’ fades in 

American memory.

‘‘It’s a war that’s out of mind,’’ 

says Sean Flynn, who teaches World 

War I history at Dakota Wesleyan 

University in Mitchell, S.D. ‘‘The 

U.S. entered it late and we have no 

real connection to it.’’ 

Unlike the wars that followed, 

World War I doesn’t have the visual 

record so important to becoming part 

of American consciousness, Flynn 

says. Yet its impact can be linked to 

many problems facing the world 

today, including conflict in the 

Balkans and the rise of Arab nationalism 

that occurred after the collapse of 

the Ottoman Empire. 

‘‘We learn about war through television 

and through film,’’ Flynn says. 

‘‘There’s just not a lot of moving-picture 

footage of World War I. There’s 

no visual image there for the public to 

identify with.’’ 

Lloyd Brown spends little time 

thinking about the days his ship 

escorted convoys in North Atlantic 

waters threatened by German submarines. 

Living alone in a house in 

southern Maryland, just a few blocks 

from his daughter, Nancy, he does not 

believe that his war has been forgotten 

and feels satisfied with the attention 

paid to its veterans over the years. 

‘‘You can’t celebrate World War I 

year after year after year, because 

there are other events taking place,’’ 

says Brown, who watches the news 

each day to keep up with the world. 

‘‘You have to honor them.’’

Lawmakers uneasy about 

disaster role of military 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 

Republican lawmakers raised concerns 

Wednesday about President 

Bush’s push to expand the 

Pentagon’s response role during 

disasters like Hurricane Katrina, 

fearing the military could be 

stretched too thin. 

‘‘To an American public understandably 

upset by the slow 

response to Hurricane Katrina and 

frightened by a possible avian flu 

outbreak, the president’s suggestion 

merits discussion,’’ Rep. 

Dave G. Reichert told a House 

panel. 

However, ‘‘if the military 

Iraq/ 

Afghanistan 

assumes primary responsibility for 

both national defense and emergency 

response, then its dual missions 

may drain valuable resources 

and personnel,’’ said Reichert, R- 

Wash. 

Bush proposed putting the 

Pentagon in charge of search-andrescue 

efforts for catastrophic natural 

disasters in the aftermath of the 

government’s sluggish response to 

Katrina, which devastated the Gulf 

Coast on Aug. 29. That mission is 

currently coordinated by the 

Homeland Security Department, 

which oversees the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency.

Great American recalled on Veterans Day 

Editor’s note: This is part of 

a series of columns on “Great 

Farmers” by guest columnist 

Hayden Porter. He is a retired 

pastor and educator. He and 

his wife, Nancy, live and ranch 

on the family homestead at 

Decker, Mont. 

Veterans Day 2005 is a 

great time to celebrate the life 

of a great veteran farmer. There 

have been so many, from the 

"embattled farmers" of 

Lexington and Concord to the 

Afghanistan-Iraq veterans. It's 

hard to choose just one. The 

farm boys have always been 

there and "borne the battle." 

Perhaps we could represent 

all of them with a good remembrance 

of old Rufus Parr. He 

wasn't always old, but he 

seemed that way. He farmed 

until he was 91, and lived to 

102, so those still living who 

knew him remember him as 

being old. 

Rufus worked for a neighbor, 

running a horse-drawn 

mower, at age 9. That is a good 

point to start reviewing his 

great agricultural career. 

In 1905 or '06, the Parr family 

moved from Illinois to 

Kansas. The move was for the 

mother's health. It was felt the 

drier climate would help her, 

but she died soon after. Ruf 

was left motherless as a subteen. 

That's hard business. He 

dearly missed his mother, but 

Laya’s 

the hard work 

of farm 

chores and the 

assurance that 

she was in a 

better place 

helped the lad 

handle his 

grief. 

At age 14, 

the strapping 

farm kid hired 

out to a bachelor 

neighbor. 

Ruf had some 

interesting 

duties. He 

milked the 

cows, fed and 

harnessed the 

horses and fixed lunch and supper 

for the boss. Ruf was on his 

way to becoming an all-around 

hand. 

At age 20, in 1916, Rufus 

went on his own. He had accumulated 

some horses and 

machinery, rented 320 acres 

and planted a crop. 

In 1917, Ruf took some time 

off from farming and enlisted 

in the Navy. He had to sell his 

horses and machinery and 

relinquish his lease, but it all 

brought a good price. 

After training, Rufus' unit 

shipped out for France. It was 

duty like that of the Navy 

Seabees today. They built airfields 

for the Army Air Corps. 

There was constant moving of 

equipment and construction of 

new airfields as the battlefront

POWERFUL TOOLS THAT GET ACTION 

After a month of trying to sell your home “By Owner”, you have listed it with a real 

estate agent who doesn’t seem to be marketing it the same way you did. You ran 

classified ads every weekend, but your agent has only advertised twice all month. Still, 

you’re wondering why there is a lot more activity than you were able to generate on your 

own. 

When your home is being marketed professionally, the real estate professional has 

many powerful selling tools that are not available to individual homeowners, such as 

national and worldwide referral networks and the Multiple Listing Service, an enormous 

database for home listings. Real estate agents also advertise other homes, and can refer 

potential buyers to your home if their other listings don’t fit the bill. We work cooperatively 

and share information about listings with other agents. By listing with one agent, you have 

effectively hired all the offices and agents in your are

The old World 

War I airplanes 

had a short 

range, so they 

had to be close to 

the front. 

After the 

Armistice, Rufus 

was assigned to 

sea duty on a 

troop ship. He 

finished out his 

enlistment bringing 

the doughboys 

home. 

Mr. Parr later 

said one of the 

saddest things he 

ever saw was the 

troops coming back from the 

front. They were tired, ragged 

and dirty. 

In 1997, Mr. Parr was one 

of the last remaining four 

Kansas WW I veterans. He was 

101 years old but totally lucid 

and ambulatory. In a moving 

ceremony arranged by the 

Garden City Veterans of 

Foreign Wars, the French government 

awarded the old gentleman 

two medals. 

They were the French 

Legion of Honor (the highest 

award for a non-French citizen) 

and the French WW I Victory 

medal. The medals were presented 

by a French official 

from Kansas City. The place 

was teeming with flags — both 

the Stars and Stripes and the 

French Tricolor. A state official 

from Topeka presented Mr. 

Parr with a properly folded 

American flag. Friends and 

family were present. 

As could be expected, there 

were lots of tears and lumpy 

throats. 

In the 1920s, the Navy veteran 

successfully courted the 

local school teacher. Marrying 

school teachers was almost traditional 

for Western farmers 

and ranchers in those days. The 

Kansas farmer took care of his 

ailing wife in her sunset years. 

She passed away before her 

husband. 

Rufus was a copious reader. 

He read everything he could get 

his hands on. About midlife, he 

began to read his Bible more 

and to attend church regularly. 

Mr. Parr could successfully 

operate his tractor into his 90s 

after his sons hooked up the 

equipment and got things 

ready. Starting at age 9, he 

farmed 82 years, minus two 

years in the Navy. 

One son, Rod, lives at 

Wyola. Two delightful granddaughters 

and five lively greatgrandchildren 

live in the 

Sheridan area. The granddaughters 

were rodeo queens, 

so they are quite well known. 

Veterans Day 2005 is a 

good time especially to honor 

the memory of Rufus Parr — a 

great farmer, a great veteran, a 

great American. 

Jim’s doctor in Sturgis found his cancer 

early, and immediately referred him 

to Regional Cancer Care Institute. 

The doctors at Regional reviewed various treatment options with Jim, 

and together they decided TomoTherapy was the best treatment option. 

Thankfully for Jim and his wife, TomoTherapy, the most advanced 

cancer treatment for Jim’s type of cancer, was available at Rapid City 

Regional Hospital. Jim was able to continue to work throughout 

his cancer treatment. Plus, TomoTherapy took less time and he 

had fewer side effects. 

Now Jim has regular check-ups with his doctor in Sturgis, 

and is moving on with his life. 


‘Dear Soldier’ 

• Mississippi schoolchildren 

open their hearts in book 

DALLAS (AP) — The handwritten 

pages of the book are decorated with 

carefully drawn flags and little traced 

hands. They contain prayerful wishes 

and innocent questions. 

‘‘How do you take a bath?’’ a child 

writes in one letter to a soldier. Another 

letter informs a service member: ‘‘I like 

apple pie. My mom has got me to likeing 

it.’’ One child simply says, ‘‘I don’t 

want you to die.’’ 

There are several smile-producing 

and sometimes moving children’s letters 

in the book, ‘‘Dear Soldier, If You Get 

Hurt Call My Mama,’’ a small collection 

of letters from Mississippi schoolchildren 

to soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

First published as a fundraiser for 

American Legion Post No. 16 in 

Pontotoc, Miss., excerpts from the book 

are included in an exhibit to be unveiled 

on Veterans Day at the Contemporary 

Art Center of Virginia in Norfolk. The 

exhibit is called ‘‘Care Packages: Letters 

from Iraq and Afghanistan.’’ 

The letters, copied from originals, 

contain uncorrected grammar and 

spelling and carefully printed words. 

Some pages are adorned with large U.S. 

flags or drawings of tiny uniformed soldiers 

saluting or praying. 

‘‘Kids don’t have any agenda, and 

they speak directly from the heart,’’ said 

Barbara Warfield Baldwin, of Pontotoc, 

who self-published the book with her 

two daughters. ‘‘There’s no preconceived 

ideas, and they weren’t prompted. 

They’re just fresh and pure and honest.’’ 

The women are collecting letters from 

across the nation in hopes of attracting a 

major publisher. 

‘‘These kids just ache for the soldiers,’’ 

said Amber Baldwin D’Amico of Dallas, 

one of Baldwin’s daughters and a former 

Veterans Affairs public information officer. 

‘‘We know you’re going to do a great 

job,’’ reads one letter, which contains a 

heavily traced outstretched hand and the 

words ‘‘Let’s Pray’’ written inside. 

Baldwin began reading the letters while 

packing care packages for overseas troops, 

which include her son in Afghanistan. 

‘‘They were great, some were really 

serious and some were so funny that I’d 

stop and read them aloud,’’ she said. 

‘‘About halfway through I stopped and 

realized these are precious. They’re treasures, 

they tell about the war, and when 

people look back at them, they’re recorded 

history.’’ 

The women compiled the book for the 

American Legion fundraiser. Then, 

D’Amico said, they reached a partnership

Feeling Better 

• Moderating gas prices 

may fuel renewed spending 

Consumer confidence emerged from 

a funk. With gasoline prices moderating, 

people are feeling better — but 

not ebullient — about the economy’s 

prospects and their own. 

The RBC CASH index, based on 

polling by Ipsos, showed that consumer 

confidence rebounded in 

November to a reading of 81. That 

marked an improvement from 

October’s 66.8 and September’s 

showing of 61.5, the lowest since 

early March 2003, when the nation 

was on the brink of war. 

The low confidence readings seen 

in the previous two months reflected 

public horror and anxiety over the 

deadly hurricanes that ravaged the 

Gulf Coast, destroying businesses 

and choking commerce. The storms 

hobbled crucial oil and gas facilities, 

sending oil prices past $70 a barrel 

and gasoline prices above $3 a gallon. 

Those price surges have calmed 

down. Oil prices are hovering below 

$58 a barrel and gasoline prices are 

averaging about $2.35 a gallon. 

Analysts say that is helping to lift 

consumers’ spirits. 

‘‘The fact that prices have come 

down makes people feel better and 

they think the future looks better,’’ 

said Bill Cheney, chief economist at 

John Hancock Financial Services. 

The fading sense of dismay about the 

hurricanes — at least for the people 

not directly uprooted by them — 

was cited as a reason for the revival 

in consumer confidence in 

November. 

‘‘Consumers seem to have 

rebounded from the low point of 

spirits this year reached right after

the hurricanes struck,’’ said Lynn 

Reaser, chief economist at Bank of 

America’s Investment Strategies 

Group. ‘‘But they are still somewhat 

anxious about the energy situation 

and how that will fare in the coming 

months.’’ 

Even with the rebound, consumers’ 

confidence in the economy 

in November is still lower now than 

it was for the same month last year. 

In November of 2004, confidence 

stood at 89.8. 

Worries about home heating bills, 

which are expected to soar because 

of high natural gas costs, are probably 

restraining confidence compared 

with a year ago, economists said.

Medicare saving money by 

making fewer payment errors 

WASHINGTON (AP) — 

Medicare saved about $9.5 billion 

this past fiscal year by cutting errors 

in half, officials said Thursday. 

An error occurs when Medicare 

pays for a medically unnecessary 

service, a provider submits incorrect 

billings, or there is insufficient documentation 

to prove the service was 

necessary. 

Mark McClellan, administrator of 

the Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services, credited computer 

data bases and the hiring of independent 

contractors to review 

claims. When the agency first began 

calculating error rates, it routinely 

reviewed about 6,000 claims for 

accuracy. That has risen to 160,000 

claims. 

In some cases, the errors are 

fraud. But in other areas, it can be an 

innocent mistake, McClellan said. 

‘‘There’s no one magic bullet. 

There’s no one particular area where 

improper payments arise,’’ he said. 

But, in offering examples of 

where problems have been found, 

McClellan cited the ordering of glucose 

monitors for patients who did 

not meet program requirements, or 

the treatment of back pain in hospitals 

when it was not a medical necessity 

or could have been done in a 

less expensive outpatient setting. 

Providers submit more than 1 

billion claims annually to the $325 

billion health insurance program for 

the elderly and disabled. The error 

rate for 2004 budget year 2004 was 

estimated at 10.1 percent. The rate 

for 2005 was estimated at 5.2 percent. 

Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, a 

frequent critic of the centers’ monitoring 

of fraud, said the reduced 

error rate basically amounts to more 

money being available for beneficiaries. 

‘‘Its remarkable that better management 

of the Medicare program 

has achieved the same level of savings 

in just one year as the Senate 

did in a five-year budget bill passed 

just last week,’’ Grassley said. 

McClellan said the agency would 

soon apply some of its monitoring 

practices to the Medicaid program, 

the state-federal partnership that 

provides health coverage to the 

poor.

Committee approves 

road-widening bills 

CHEYENNE (AP) — Legislation to spend 

roughly $125 million a year to start widening 

and improving several of Wyoming’s two-lane 

highways received approval from a legislative 

committee on Thursday. 

The Joint Interim and Revenue Committee 

recommended approval of three bills to fund 

improvements to the state’s highways. One of 

the bills would take about $75 million a year out 

of the state’s budget reserve and the other bills 

would take about a combined $50 million a year 

from the state’s severance tax and federal mineral 

tax royalties. 

In addition to putting new money into highway 

construction, two of the bills would also 

increase state payments to counties, municipalities 

and certain other public recipients by a total 

of nearly $50 million a year by raising current 

spending caps. The Legislature will consider all 

three bills at the session that begins in February. 

The Wyoming Department of Transportation 

says it will need roughly $1.5 billion over the 

next dozen years to widen and improve nearly 

500 miles of roadways around the state. The 

department has identified 10 segments of highway 

that need improvements for increased safety 

as well as to handle projected increases in 

traffic and to help the state’s economic development. 

John Cox, director of the Wyoming 

Department of Transportation, told the committee 

he has submitted a request to Gov. Dave 

Freudenthal for about $155 million to upgrade 

other highways separate from the road-widening 

work. 

Among the first projects the highway department 

wants to address is widening both U.S. 

Highway 287 from Laramie south to the 

Colorado border and Wyoming 59 from Gillette 

south to Wright, WyDOT Chief Engineer Del 

McOmie said. 

McOmie said current plans call for constructing 

separate roadways instead of the current 

two-lane roads. He said the roadways will 

have at-grade intersections rather than limited 

access intersections such as on an interstate 

highway. 

McOmie told the committee that the department 

is working on environmental assessments 

on the first sections of highway it wants to 

address under the widening program. 

Highway construction costs have been 

increasing rapidly in recent years and have shot 

up this year in particular because of the demand 

for concrete and steel in the Gulf Coast states 

hammered by recent hurricanes. He said the 

department is only undertaking 66 projects this 

year, down from more than 130 projects five 

years ago, because of the increase in construction 

costs.

Best value from state land? 

Consultant gives ideas 

CHEYENNE (AP) — A consultant’s preliminary 

report recommends sweeping changes in how 

the Office of State Lands and Investments operates 

in order for the state to get the most value out of the 

land it owns. 

The recommendations by a Texas consulting 

firm includes adding about 10 positions to the 

agency, along with the capacity to obtain outside 

professional services to help the state shift from its 

historical role as a caretaker of public lands to an 

active manager of the portfolio of nearly 4 million 

acres of state lands. 

The purpose of the shift is to maximize value of 

both trust and non-trust lands for the beneficiaries, 

principally schools, and public users. 

Brian Foster, a representative of the consulting 

firm, said his firm hasn’t compiled an estimate on 

how much the recommended changes would cost 

the state. 

The report was presented Wednesday to a legislative-executive 

task force studying revenue for 

the state Office of State Lands and Investments. 

‘‘We’ve missed a lot of deals over the last five 

to six years because we didn’t have the capacity to 

evaluate,’’ said Secretary of State Joe Meyer, a 

member of the task force as well as the state Board 

of Lands and Investments. 

The consultant’s report said maximizing the 

value of Wyoming’s state lands can take several 

forms, including increased leasing and commercial 

development and assembling larger contiguous 

parcels when possible and improving access. 

Lynne Boomgaarden, director of the state 

Office of Lands and Investments, said her agency 

is swamped because of the increased business and 

level of natural resource development in the state. 

‘‘We’re buried just because of the volume of 

work,’’ she said. 

The consultant recommends that the state agency 

be given the authority to contract with experts in 

commercial and recreational real estate to evaluate 

these deals as they come up. 

Wyoming fossils show

growing there previously, according to a research 

team led by Scott L. Wing, chairman of the 

Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian’s 

National Museum of Natural History. 

Their findings are reported in Friday’s issue of 

the journal Science. 

The group studied a period called the 

Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, when the 

planet warmed up over about 10,000 years, raising 

the average temperature by between 9 degrees and 

18 degrees Fahrenheit. The warmth lasted for 

80,000 to 120,000 years. 

The team reported that before and after the 

warm period plant fossils included such northern 

plants as relatives of dawn redwood, alder, 

sycamore, walnut and sassafras. But during the 

warm period fossils show the area supported different 

vegetation, including members of the bean 

family and warmth-loving relatives of poinsettia, 

sumac and paw-paw. 

The southern plants had spread 1,000 miles 

from the Gulf Coast to Wyoming, but disappeared 

when the climate cooled off. 

Couple from Green River 

killed in California accident 

GREEN RIVER (AP) — A Wyoming couple 

died after being struck by a car while they 

were trying to cross a five-lane highway in 

California. 

William Duncan, 68, and Linda Duncan, 58, 

both of Green River, died in the accident, which 

occurred Wednesday night in Big Bear Lake, 

Calif., according to the San Bernadino County 

Sheriff’s Department. 

The driver of the vehicle was an unlicensed 

female juvenile, according to police. 

William Duncan was a former Green River 

wrestling and football coach, teacher and 

administrator. 

Linda Duncan formerly taught elementary 

school in Green River. 

The accident remains under investigation. 

Man charged with murder 

and arson in death 

CHEYENNE (AP) — A 31-year-old man 

has been charged with first-degree murder in the 

death of a man whose house was set on fire. 

Ismael Chavez was formally charged 

Wednesday in Circuit Court. He is also accused 

of intentionally starting a fire Sunday after 

breaking into the home of John Millburn, 56, 

whose body was found inside. 

Circuit Court Judge Denise Nau set bond at 

$200,000 cash. 

An affidavit of probable cause did little to 

answer lingering questions about how and why 

Millburn died. 

Chavez and Millburn apparently didn’t know 

each other, according to police. 

A murder conviction can bring life in prison 

or death. Arson carries up to 30 years in prison.

Kids doing poorly in school? Maybe they’re sleepy 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Staying up an hour or two 

past bedtime makes it far harder for kids to learn, say scientists 

who deprived youngsters of sleep and tested 

whether their teachers could tell the difference. 

They could. 

If parents want their children to thrive academically, 

‘‘Getting them to sleep on time is as important as getting 

them to school on time,’’ said psychologist Gahan Fallone, 

who conducted the research at Brown Medical School. 

The study, unveiled Thursday at an American Medical 

Association science writers meeting, was conducted on 

healthy children who had no evidence of sleep- or learning-related 

disorders. 

Difficulty paying attention was among the problems the 

sleepy youngsters faced — raising the question of whether 

sleep deprivation could prove even worse for people with 

attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. 

Fallone now is studying that question, and suspects that 

sleep problems ‘‘could hit children with ADHD as a double 

whammy.’’ 

Sleep experts have long warned that Americans of all 

ages don’t get enough shuteye. Sleep is important for 

health, bringing a range of benefits that, as Shakespeare 

put it, ‘‘knits up the raveled sleave of care.’’ Not getting 

enough is linked to a host of problems, from car crashes as

drivers doze off to crippled memory and inhibited creativity. 

But exactly how much sleep correlates with school performance 

is hard to prove. 

So Brown researchers set out to test whether teachers 

could detect problems with attention and learning when 

children stayed up late — even if the teachers had no idea 

how much sleep their students actually got. 

They recruited 74 6- to 12-year-olds from Rhode Island 

and southern Massachusetts for the three-week study. 

For one week, the youngsters went to bed and woke up 

at their usual times. They already were fairly good sleepers, 

getting nine to 9.5 hours of sleep a night. 

Another week, they were assigned to spend no fewer 

than 10 hours in bed a night. And another week, they were 

kept up later than usual: First- and second-graders were in 

bed no more than eight hours and the older children no 

more than 6.5 hours. 

In addition to parents’ reports, the youngsters wore 

motion-detecting wrist monitors to ensure compliance. 

Teachers weren’t told how much the children slept or 

which week they stayed up late, but rated the students on a 

variety of performance measures each week. 

The teachers reported significantly more academic 

problems during the week of sleep deprivation, the study,

concluded. 

Students who got eight hours of sleep or less a night 

were more forgetful, had the most trouble learning new 

lessons, and had the most problems paying attention, 

reported Fallone, now at the Forest Institute of 

Professional Psychology in Springfield, Mo. 

Sleep has long been a concern of educators. 

Consider: Potter-Burns Elementary School in 

Pawtucket, R.I., sends notes to parents reminding them to 

make sure students get enough sleep prior to the school’s 

yearly achievement testing. Principal John Haidemenos 

considers it important enough to include in the school’s 

monthly newsletters, too. 

‘‘Definitely there is an impact on students’ performance 

if they come to school tired,’’ he said. 

But the findings may change physician practice, said 

Dr. Regina Benjamin, a family physician in Bayou La 

Batre, Ala., who reviewed the data at the Thursday’s AMA 

meeting. 

‘‘I don’t ask about sleep’’ when evaluating academically 

struggling students, she noted. ‘‘I’m going to start.’’ 

So how much sleep do kids need? Recommended 

amounts range from about 10 to 11 hours a night for 

young elementary students to 8.5 hours for teens.

Wyoming needs to do more to prepare students for college 

LARAMIE (AP) — Wyoming students score 

well on college admission tests, but not enough of 

those students actually go on to college, a 

University of Wyoming professor told the university’s 

trustees. 

Andy Hansen, a professor of mechanical engineering, 

said only 40 percent of Wyoming’s ninth 

graders go on to college, compared with 53 percent 

in Massachusetts. 

‘‘Our biggest problem is our students don’t enter 

college,’’ Hansen said. 

It’s not that they’re not capable. Wyoming students 

score better than the national average on the 

ACT, one of two major standardized tests used by 

most college admissions offices. 

• ‘Our biggest problem is our students don’t enter college’ 

However, Hansen said, only 29 percent of 

Wyoming students scored well on the science portion 

of the test. Only 25 percent of Wyoming high 

school students take upper-level science courses, 

while the top-performing states have 41 percent of 

their students in such courses. 

In Wyoming high schools, only 51 percent of 

high seniors take upper-level math classes, compared 

to 66 percent in higher-performing states. 

‘‘Seventy-one percent of high school students 

nationally who engage in a rigorous academic curriculum 

obtain a bachelor’s degree,’’ Hansen said. 

‘‘This is a key statistic, because it shows how 

important preparation is for success in college.’’ 

Hansen said most high school students should 

take four years of English, four years of math — 

including algebra and geometry — three years of 

science, three years of social studies and two years 

of a foreign language. That would still allow for 

electives and vocational classes, he said, while creating 

a core of college-prep courses. 

He also said schools should start preparing students 

for college as early as middle school. Many 

students come into high school with preconceived 

notions about college, including concerns about the 

costs, Hansen said, that should be addressed before 

they get to high school. 

‘‘In order to increase the number of students who 

might not normally attend college, we need to 

change the expectations of those families that typically 

don’t send their children to college,’’ said 

Howard Wilson, a university trustee. 

Superintendent of Public Instruction Jim 

McBride said the state already was making progress. 

‘‘I should say we are working on everything you 

mentioned,’’ McBride said. ‘‘In two years, if we’re 

all still sitting around this table, I predict you will 

see an increase in attendance and preparation.’’ 

Feds to announce grizzly-delisting proposal 

BILLINGS (AP) — The federal 

government is planning next week 

to propose removing federal protections 

for grizzly bears in the greater 

Yellowstone ecosystem of 

Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, 

sources told The Associated Press 

on Thursday. 

Tom France, a regional director 

for the National Wildlife 

Federation, said an announcement 

was scheduled Tuesday in 

Washington, D.C. A spokesman for 

the Interior Department and a 

spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service declined late 

Thursday to confirm whether such 

an announcement was scheduled. 

However, a congressional source 

and a state government source in 

Wyoming, who both spoke on condition 

of anonymity, confirmed the 

announcement. 

France said government representatives 

from Idaho, Montana and 

Wyoming were scheduled to be on 

hand, along with the Interior 

Secretary and a member of the 

National Wildlife Federation. 

France said his organization 

believes steps toward formally 

removing bears from protection

Speculation surrounding the 

government’s release of a so-called

months, with some state and federal

Federal wildlife officials estimate 

that about 600 grizzly bears 

live in the Yellowstone ecosystem, 

a remarkable recovery considering 

that perhaps 200 or 250 grizzlies 

were in that region in 1975. That’s 

when grizzly bears in the lower 48 

states were listed as threatened 

under the Endangered Species Act.

Package of coffee 

yields baby turtle 

AINSWORTH, Iowa (AP) — 

Marjorie Morris just wanted to 

pour coffee into a canister, but 

what she found in the package left 

her shell-shocked. 

Morris, 77, found a dead baby 

turtle in the 2-pound package of 

Folgers coffee last Sunday. 

‘‘I thought it was a toy at 

first,’’ she said. 

Morris said she had been making 

coffee from the same package 

for a month before she discovered 

the reptile. She says she doesn’t 

plan to sue. 

Sussane Dussing, a 

spokeswoman for Folgers parent 

company Procter & Gamble, said 

it’s too early to say how the turtle 

ended up in the coffee.

UW inks Robinson 

LANDER (AP) — Tahnee 

Robinson, a 5-foot-9 guard, 

signed a letter of intent 

Thursday to play basketball 

for the University of Wyoming. 

Robinson, who averaged 

more than 28 points per game 

as a junior at Lander, is the 

third in-state recruit to sign with 

the Cowgirls in the last two 

years, joining Megan McGuffey 

of Cheyenne East and Alysia 

Kraft of Encampment. 

NASCAR limits teams 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — 

Big-money teams will be 

allowed to field only four cars 

under a cap limit set by 

NASCAR, a move that infuriated 

the five-car Roush 

Racing organization. 

The limit goes into effect 

next season, but NASCAR said 

it would work to set a timeline 

for compliance for teams with 

more than four entries. Jack 

Roush is the only owner with 

five teams, all of which are in 

the 10-man Chase for the 

championship that crowns the 

Nextel Cup champion. 

The announcement caught 

Roush by surprise, and his 

organization has complained 

it was being singled out. 

NFL team in L.A.? 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — 

The NFL and city officials 

have reached a preliminary 

agreement on terms to bring 

a team back to the Los 

Angeles Coliseum. 

Commissioner Paul 

Tagliabue didn’t identify a 

potential tenant or speculate 

when Los Angeles might get the 

team. The Los Angeles area, 

the second-largest television 

market in the country, has been 

without an NFL team since the 

Raiders moved from the 

Coliseum back to Oakland and 

the Rams moved from Anaheim 

to St. Louis before the 1995 season. 

Bulldogs win 27-7 

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — 

Four years of frustration 

flowed out of every heavy hit 

and every pinpoint pass when 

Fresno State finally ended 

Boise State’s domination of 

the Bulldogs and the entire 

Western Athletic Conference. 

Paul Pinegar passed for 

307 yards and hit Paul 

Williams for two long touchdowns, 

and the 20th-ranked 

Bulldogs decisively snapped 

Boise State’s 31-game conference 

winning streak with a 

27-7 victory Thursday night. 

Williams scored on a 98yard 

play, while Wendell 

Mathis ran for 121 yards and 

a score for Fresno State (8-1, 

6-0 WAC) in its first victory 

over the three-time defending 

league champions. 


Lady Bronc Stephanie Stender, with the help of her dad, Jay, and mother, Mila, signs a national letter of 

intent to play basketball at Montana on Thursday at Sheridan High School. 

By Casey Temple 

Sports Editor 

Stephanie Stender made it official 

Thursday — she’s going to be a 

Lady Griz. 

But hold on a second, Sheridan 

girls’ basketball coach Mark Elliott 

says. 

She still has another season as a 

Lady Bronc. 

The coach jokingly reminded her 

of this when she signed a national 

letter of intent to play basketball at 

the University of Montana — one 

of the premier women’s programs 

in the Western United States. 

While she committed to 

Montana months ago, signing her 

name to the school’s scholarship 

offer Thursday means no more 

recruiting calls or having to impress 


The Lady Generals celebrate a point against Laramie County Community College on Thursday afternoon at the Bruce Hoffman 

Golden Dome. Sheridan College won 30-16, 30-19, 30-18. 

SC stuns Lady Spartans 


Sports Editor 

The much-anticipated match 

was worth the anticipation. 

And if you weren’t at the 

Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome on 

Thursday night, you missed a 

doozy. 

Because an electric crowd is 

probably still buzzing from 

Sheridan College’s thrilling 29- 

31, 30-25, 30-23, 23-30, 15-12 

upset of defending champion 

Western Wyoming in a Region IX 

tournament throwdown. 

“This is big,” said Sheridan 

College coach Todd Cooper, who 

is trying to get the Lady Generals 

back to the National Junior 

College Athletic Association tournament 

for the first time since 

1999. “This is by far our biggest 

match of the year, but they only 

get bigger after this.” 

The victory — their second on 

the day — puts the Lady Generals 

two consecutive wins away from a 

Region IX championship. Thirdseeded 

Sheridan College will 

square off against top-seeded 

Casper College at 6 tonight for a 

shot at the title match at 4 p.m. 

Saturday. 

The Lady Thunderbirds took 

Northwest College in three games, 

while Sheridan College topped 


Lady General Kaci Switzer fires a shot past LCCC on Thursday. 

Laramie County Community 

College 30-16, 30-19, 30-18 in the 

first round Thursday afternoon. 

Not having had a match go 

more than four games in their previous 

eight contests, the Lady 

Generals thrived under the pressure 

of the fifth game Thursday 

night. 

“We just have to take it,” 

Sheridan College’s Kaycee Blake 

said of the talk before the final 

B1 

Stender signs 

with Lady Griz 

frame. “We have to get those first 

few points and run with it. We 

have to be intense, and we can’t 

let anything drop. We don’t play 

scared, we don’t play tentatively, 

we go for it.” 

The Lady Generals went for 

the jugular early, winning four of 

Game 5’s first five points. Jaime 

Heiner and Blake built that lead to 

10-4 with kills that grazed the line. 

But in a match as closely 

fought as this one, the secondseeded 

Lady Spartans weren’t 

going to let the fifth game go willingly. 

Western Wyoming, paced by a 

standout performance from Gina 

Taylor, ran off six straight points 

to bring it to 13-12. 

After the Lady Generals lost 

Game 1 after being two points 

away from a win, the pressure 

mounted. 

But Sheridan College freshman 

Jessica Koch was having fun. 

“It’s fun,” she said of the 

intense fifth game. “It doesn’t get 

any better. Everyone was so 

pumped up, and it just doesn’t get 

any better than this.” 

Koch’s block for the next point 

put the Lady Generals at match 

point, and Kayla Sterling finished 

it off with a kill for the win. 

Please see Lady Generals, Page B2 

college scouts at basketball games. 

“Steph can just go out and play 

now, and it’s a lot of pressure off 

her shoulders,” Elliott said. “It 

should allow her to go out and have 

fun and enjoy her senior year and be 

a high school basketball player for 

the last time.” 

It also makes Stender the first 

Lady Bronc basketball player to sign 

with a Division-I program since 

Tennyson Ballek signed with Lady 

Griz-rival Montana State in 1995. 

“It’s exciting and relieving at the 

same time,” Stender said. 

For a player who said team goals 

outweigh the aspirations of the individual, 

Stender even commented 

that she didn’t enjoy being in the 

spotlight Thursday.

Generals 

fall to No. 3 

Indian Hills 


Sports Editor 

The Generals didn’t travel to 

Indian Hills Community College 

(Iowa) to lose. 

So though Sheridan College was 

edged 95-89 by the No. 3 team in 

the country Thursday, coach Joel 

Davidson was disappointed the 

Generals didn’t win. 

“We didn’t come here to play 

them close. That wasn’t our intention,” 

Davidson said. “I think we 

can beat Indian Hills. (Take away) a 

couple of silly turnovers here and 

there, a couple of missed shots and 

the outcome is different, and that’s 

disappointing. If we had been outplayed 

by a better team but played 

well, that would be a different story.” 

Thursday’s story wasn’t without 

Sheridan College bright spots, 

Davidson said. 

He was pleased by the way the 

Generals battled 

back from 

an early 14-3 

deficit, as 

well as performances 

by 

Gus Chase, 

Chase Sukut 

and Jake 

Schmidt. 

Chase scored 

Chase 

Sukut 

27 points to 

lead Sheridan 

College, while 

Sukut had a 

career-high 25 points against Indian 

Hills’ talented group of guards, 


“Chase Sukut really played 

well,” the coach said. “He shot 

well, he ran the offense well.” 

Schmidt chipped in 10 points. 

“He’s really starting to find his 

niche, and he’ll continue to get better,” 


The coach said neither team had 

a lead greater than six points after 

Indian Hills’ initial run. The 

Generals last led with eight minutes 

remaining, but Davidson sad a couple 

of missed shots and turnovers 

led to Sheridan College being on 

the wrong side of a run. 

The Generals play Fort Scott 

(Kan.) at 4 p.m. today. 

Please see Generals, Page B2 

Lady Generals 

improve to 4-0 

From staff reports 

The Sheridan College women’s 

basketball team improved to 4-0 

with a 54-48 win over Air Force 

Prep on Thursday in Colorado 

Springs, Colo. 

The Lady Generals continue the 

Air Force Prep tournament today 

with a contest against Buckley Air 

Force Base (Colo.). They’ll play Air 

Force Prep again Saturday. 

Amy Fullmer led the Lady 

Generals with 16 points, while Molly 

Schenderline and Paige Knudson 

chipped in 11 and 10, respectively. 

Adrienne Green added nine, and 

Samantha Duncan scored six. 

Sheridan College led 21-17 at 

halftime, and was 14 of 20 from the 

free throw line.

B2 The Sheridan Press, Friday, November 11, 2005 

Lady Generals 

(Continued from Page B1) 

“We just decided that we wanted 

it, and the pressure was on their 

shoulders,” Koch said. “They beat us 

in four when we played them here, 

and beat us in three when we played 

them (in Rock Springs), and they 

overlooked us and we came out and 

took advantage of it.” 

The three areas that carried the 

Lady Generals were the confidence 

they played with, their defense and 

the remarkable performances from 

every player who stepped on the 

court. 

“I think we really played intense 

on defense,” Cooper said. “(Western 

Wyoming is) a very good defensive 

team, but I really thought we matched 

their effort. For the most part we were 

aggressive and played with a lot of 

confidence.” 

Blake, who said her philosophy 

was to “just hit the ball as hard as I 

could,” led the way with 27 kills and 

27 digs. Heiner added 28 digs, 12 

kills and four blocks, while fellow 

sophomore Kaci Switzer had 13 digs 

and eight kills — nearly every one 

coming in a pressure-packed situation. 

While Lady General fans have 

come to expect big matches from the 

trio, it was the players who aren’t normally 

in the spotlight who shined on 

this night. 

“They stepped it up so much 

tonight, and I’m so proud of them — 

they played their hearts out,” Heiner 

said of teammates such as Chelsea 

Strong, Koch and Abby Stewart. 

“Most of the time they don’t get recognized, 

but tonight they really 

stepped up. They worked and they 

worked and they didn’t give up.” 

Strong finished with 32 digs, 

Koch had nine blocks and eight kills, 

and Stewart finished with 20 digs. 

Setter Lindsey Stookey had 56 assists, 

eight kills and 12 digs, and Sterling 

added seven kills. 

Cooper said without those performances, 

the Lady Generals would 

have slipped into the losers’ bracket 

of the double-elimination tournament. 

“Jessica Koch had a couple of big 

hits and just blocked the heck out of 

the ball. She dominated the net at 

times,” he said. “Chelsea Strong just 

made some great digs for us. Abby 

Stewart had four or five outstanding 

plays that maybe she wasn’t making a 

few weeks ago, and my hat’s off to all 

those girls.” 

“I think what it is, is everybody 

wants it so bad. Everybody wants to 

go nationals,” Blake said of the contributions 

from all nine Lady 

Generals who played. “It feels awesome; 

there’s probably no way to 

describe it. It’s a great win for us, so 

we’ll take that intensity into 

(Friday).” 

The Lady Generals brought the 

intensity and confidence into 

Thursday. Looking nothing like a 

team that had been prone to sluggish 

starts, mental lapses and letdowns at 

the end of games, Sheridan College 

played like a team that wouldn’t be 

denied no matter how strong the Lady 

Spartans were on the other side of the 

net. 

“This is the most intense that I can 

ever remember,” Heiner said. “We 

played intense the entire time and 

never let down. We just trusted each 

other, went for everything and played 

our hardest.” 

Generals 


“They’re not very big, but 

they’re athletic 

and they 

like to get up 

and down the 

floor,” 

Davidson 

said. “It 

should be a 

fast-paced 

game.” 

Gus Chase

coach said the

“We’ve struggled with 

(intensity) all year,” Blake 

added. “I think it was really 

more mental than anything. 

We definitely showed confidence, 

and it felt so good 

tonight. It felt way good. 

We lost it for a minute, but 

we didn’t let down.” 

The Lady Generals rallied 

back from a nip-andtuck 

loss in Game 1 to win 

the second game that was 

just as tight as the first 

before the home team 

pulled away at the end. 

Switzer tied the third 

frame for the 11th time with 

a block at 24-24. The two 

teams traded points before a 

Lady Spartan return into the 

net and a Stewart shot 

caught the line to give the 

Lady Generals a 27-25 lead. 

Stookey added to the 

momentum when her shot 

found the floor, and two 

unsuccessful Western 

Wyoming volleys allowed the Lady 

Generals to even the match. 

“We just said to stay confident 

and good things would happen,” 

Cooper said. “Our kids kept their 

chins up and they were confident and 

they kept doing the things we’ve been 

practicing and things turned our way. 

“I think after getting that win in 

Game 2 they knew they could do it.” 

Up 6-5 early in the third game, an 

ace from Blake and a block by Koch 

spawned a 6-1 run that carried the 

Lady Generals to a Game 3 win. 

Western Wyoming also had a run 

of its own to win Game 4. With it tied 

at 17, the Lady Spartans ran off five 

straight points to distance themselves 

from the Lady Generals and even the 

match at 2-2. 

“Championship teams want to 

play Game 5,” Cooper said he told 

the team in the huddle before the 

final game. “They want that to be 

under the pressure, they want the ball

Generals (1-2) needed to do a better 

job getting Chase the ball. He said 

the sophomore forward didn’t get 

enough touches in key moments 

against Indian Hills. 

Thursday was also the day the 

Baltimore product signed a national 

letter of intent to play at the 

University of Montana. Chase, who 

committed to the Griz in 

September, was an All-Region IX 

selection as a freshman after averaging 

19 points and 10 rebounds. 

The National Junior College

that should be fun. 

“They came out

The Lady Generals

two days. 

Casper College 

clipped Sheridan College 

in the two regular season 

meetings, and only suffered 

one conference loss 

— a five-game defeat to 

Western Wyoming near

Cooper said there 

was no chance of a letdown. 

“You don’t have a 

heartbeat if you have a 

letdown in the semifinals 

of the Region IX tournament,” 

he said. “They’re 

the No. 1 seed and that’s 

who we’re going after, so

“I’m excited for Gus, and I’m 

excited for Montana,” Davidson 

said. “They have a great coaching 

staff and it’s a great place to go to 

school. He’s a great kid and he’ll be 

a great fit up there. There’s no question 

he’ll be successful up there.” 

Chase is the fourth General to 

sign with a Division-I program — 

Johnathan Chatman (Texas Pan- 

American), Eze Samuel (Western 

Illinois) and Fred Oguns (Western

Bailey, Moss hurting in marquee matchup 

DENVER (AP) — This is a 

matchup football fans should be 

excited about. 

This season, however, hasn’t quite 

gone the way Champ Bailey or 

Randy Moss were hoping it would. 

In the preseason, after the Oakland 

Raiders signed Moss, Bailey fielded 

questions about what it would be like 

to have one of the NFL’s most dangerous 

receivers in the AFC West, 

playing for the Raiders when they 

faced the Denver Broncos twice a 

year. It had the makings of a great 

rivalry within a great rivalry. 

When the teams play Sunday, 

though, Bailey and Moss will both be 

limping to the line — if they make it 

to the field at all. 

Moss is listed as questionable with 

injuries to his groin, ribs and pelvis. 

Bailey is listed as probable with a 

hamstring injury that has bothered 

him all season. 

‘‘He’s definitely one of the best in 

the game,’’ Bailey said of Moss. 

‘‘Has been for a while now. It’s going 

to be a challenge.’’ 

It’ll be even more of one if Moss 

is healthy and Bailey hasn’t improved 

since the last time he took the field, 

two weeks ago against Philadelphia. 

In what could now be best known 

Stender 


as Terrell Owens’ final game with the 

Eagles, Bailey was put in one-on-one 

coverage against the All-Pro receiver 

and he gave up two big, embarrassing 

plays. 

One was a 91-yard run and catch 

for a touchdown in which Bailey got 

juked then looked to be running gingerly 

in an unsuccessful attempt to 

catch up. The other was on a 43-yard 

catch that set up another Eagles score. 

Both were largely written off to 

the eight- and nine-man pass rushes 

Denver called that game, which left 

Bailey on the island — ‘‘Ten out of 

10 cornerbacks don’t make that tackle,’’ 

defensive lineman Trevor Pryce 

said — and to the injury, which has 

nagged Bailey since preseason and 

hampered his performance. 

Bailey has practiced this week and 

thinks he can go. As always, if he’s 

healthy enough to play, he won’t be 

making excuses. 

Meanwhile, Raiders coach Norv 

Turner said Moss’ return to the practice 

field Wednesday could be construed 

as a good sign. 

‘‘I think it is progress,’’ Turner 

said. 

Nonetheless, Moss missed all of 

last week’s practice and caught one 

pass Sunday in a loss to the Chiefs. 

a junior season that saw her earn All- 

State honors. 

“It’s about as exciting as when 

we found out Steph wanted to come 

to Sheridan,” Elliott said, noting she 

attended Big Horn through the 

eighth grade. “I think she would 

have had the same success regardless 

of where she played or who she 

would have played under. She’s an 

extremely self-motivated, hardworking 

athlete with a lot of talent.” 

Her energy and enthusiasm for 

the sport are the two traits that will 

most benefit the Lady Griz. 

“She’s just a very high-energy 

player who goes nonstop,” Elliott 

said. “She can play offense, defense, 

inside, outside — she’ll be a big 

boost to their program just in terms 

of the energy and the personality she 

brings.” 

The Lady Griz have made the 

NCAA tournament 16 times in the 

past 23 seasons. They are coached 

by Robin Selvig, who has compiled 

HUSSKE 

CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC 

Carpenter wins 

NL Cy Young 

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years 

ago, when the pain in Chris 

Carpenter’s shoulder wouldn’t go 

away, he thought his career might be 

over. 

Patience, persistence and a nasty 

curveball earned him the NL Cy 

Young Award on Thursday. 

After going 21-5 with a 2.83 ERA 

for the St. Louis Cardinals, Carpenter 

received 19 of 32 first-place votes 

and finished with 132 points in balloting 

by the Baseball Writers’ 

Association of America. 

He beat out Florida lefty 

Dontrelle Willis, becoming the first 

Cardinals pitcher to claim the honor 

since Hall of Famer Bob Gibson in 

1970. 

‘‘I can’t believe I won,’’ 

Carpenter said. ‘‘It’s a great feeling.’’ 

Willis, who was 22-10 with a 2.63 

ERA, was listed first on 11 ballots, 

second on 18 and third on three for 

112 points. Seven-time winner Roger 

Clemens got the other two first-place 

votes and came in a distant third at 

age 43. 

Willis was all class in shrugging 

off any disappointment. 

‘‘I can always tell my kids, even 

when they stop listening to their old 

dad, that I was in the running with 

Roger Clemens and Chris Carpenter 

to win a prestigious award,’’ Willis 

said. ‘‘It’s not that bad to be the second-best 

pitcher in the league.’’ 

‘‘He’s not to the point where he 

can play, and he certainly wasn’t to 

the point on Sunday, where he can 

turn it loose for an entire game,’’ 

Turner said. 

Moss hasn’t spoken to the media 

since Oakland’s season opener, so his 

thoughts about going against Bailey 

aren’t known. 

The last few weeks, however, 

have been rough. 

Since getting hurt in a game Oct. 

16 against San Diego, Moss has 

caught seven passes for 76 yards and 

two scores — not really invisible, but 

hardly the every play threat he normally 

is. 

‘‘I’m not sure if he’s 100 percent 

healthy or not, but at whatever, let’s 

say he’s 95 percent, he’s still a dangerous 

weapon,’’ Broncos defensive 

backs coach Bob Slowik told The 

Gazette of Colorado Springs. 

The Broncos are preparing all 

their cornerbacks, not just Bailey, to 

try to stop Moss. 

‘‘I’ve already played against 

Terrell Owens and Deion Branch in 

the regular season and against Marvin 

Harrison in preseason,’’ rookie 

Domonique Foxworth said. ‘‘I’ve had 

some great players under my belt so 

I’m not intimidated.’’ 

more than 600 wins in 29 seasons at 

the Lady Griz helm. 

So what does it say about Lady 

Bronc basketball that a program of 

Montana’s stature would recruit a 

player out of Sheridan? 

“I think the biggest thing it says 

is we’re pretty darn lucky to have 

kids like Steph in our program,” 

Elliott said. “The girls in our program 

are just great kids. They’re 

good students, they’re good athletes 

and they’re nice people to be 

around.” 

Stender said her only goal is to be 

the hardest worker next season in 

Missoula. 

But as of now, her focus is 

squarely on the Lady Broncs. 

“The ultimate goal would be the 

team goal of winning a state championship,” 

Stender said. “The way I try 

to go into each game is, what is our 

team goal, and what are we going to 

try and accomplish as a team, not as 

an individual?”

Note, which Mortgage was executed and delivered by said 

Mortgagor(s), to said Mortgagee, and which Mortgage was 

recorded on July 2, 1997, in/as Book 371 at Page 524 in the 

records of the office of the County Clerk and ex-officio 

Register of Deeds in and for Sheridan County, State of

WHEREAS, the mortgage was assigned for value as follows:

Assignment dated: June 30, 1997 

Assignment recorded: August 4, 1997 

Assignment recording information: Book 373 at Page 29

WHEREAS, the Mortgage contains a power of sale which by 

reason of said default, the owner of the Note and the 

Mortgage declares to have become operative, and no suit or 

proceeding has been instituted at law to recover the debt 

secured by the Mortgage, or any part thereof, nor has any 

such suit or proceeding been instituted and the same discontinued; 

and 

WHEREAS, written notice of intent to foreclose the 

Mortgage by advertisement and sale has been served upon 

the record owner and the party in possession of the mortgaged 

premises at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement 

of this publication, and the amount due upon the 

Mortgage on the date of first publication of this notice of sale 

being the total sum of $83,311.56 which sum consists of the 

unpaid principal balance of $77,577.81 plus interest accrued 

to the date of the first publication of this notice in the amount 

of $4,396.08, plus late charges in the amount of $167.52, plus

Playing bridge online 

has become very popular. 

But in addition to games, 

these sites have message 

boards where players may 

pose problems and 

queries. 

This declarer-play 

brain-teaser was posted on 

the MSN Bridge Club by 

PriorKnowledge, whose 

real name is Elliot Itkin, of 

Lovettsville, Va. In four 

spades, the play begins 

with a diamond to dummy's 

ace, the spade king to 

East's ace, the diamond 

king cashed, and a trump 

back to the queen, West 

following. How should 

you, South, continue? 

With five pointed-suit 

winners, you need either 

three hearts and two clubs 

or two hearts and three 

clubs. So maybe you 

planned to take two rounded-suit 

finesses. But there 

is an extra chance. At trick 

five, lead a heart to the 

board's ace, shunning the 

finesse. Return to hand 

with a trump and play a 

heart toward the board. If 

dummy's jack wins, lead a 

club to your ace and play 

your remaining heart 

toward the queen. If West 

has the king, you get three 

heart tricks.

If the heart jack loses

if the suit is dividing 3-3. 

If East started with four 

hearts, you will need the

with 2-4-5-2 distribution). 

The extra chance arises 

with the given distribution. 

After taking the second

East is endplayed. He 

must either lead a club

The year ahead could 

turn out to be an exciting, 

busy one for you both 

socially and career-wise 

where you may learn some 

creative new ways of 

expressing your talents 

and attributes to their best 

advantage. You'll use this 

knowledge effectively. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24- 

Nov. 22) -- That conscientious 

effort you've recently 

exerted should begin to 

bear fruit starting today. If 

the foundations you've laid 

are strong, healthy and 

worthy, your causes will 

be elevated. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 

23-Dec. 21) -- Your natural 

wit, warmth and charm 

are your greatest assets 

today and they are the very 

ones that will attribute to 

making others want to do 

nice things for you. Smile 

and be a nice person. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 

22-Jan. 19) -- You have 

the ability to help someone 

you love today by showing 

this person how to make 

the most of his/her personal 

resources. You are able 

to see modes of expression 

this person can't. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20- 

Feb. 19) -- In commercial 

arrangements today, align 

yourself with experienced 

individuals. They can be 

instrumental in helping 

you deal with the here and 

now so that the future can 

take care of itself. 

PISCES (Feb. 20- 

March 20) -- Your opportunities 

for material accumulation 

look far better 

today than they normally 

do. Once you get the 

chance, spring open those 

new channels you know 

could strengthen your 

finances. 

ARIES (March 21- 

April 19) -- This is an 

excellent day to make 

another effort to try to 

work out an arrangement 

with an important individual 

who hasn't been too 

cooperative lately. 

Improvements are possible 

now. 

TAURUS (April 20- 

May 20) -- It appears that 

you could receive some 

assistance today pertaining 

to a matter where you have 

felt totally alone and 

deserted up until now. A 

constructive intervention 

will turn things around. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 

20) -- You may get an 

opportunity today to lift 

some heavy responsibility 

off a pal's shoulder, which 

you'll take. The way you 

handle it will now sow 

seeds for true camaraderie 

down the line. 

CANCER (June 21- 

July 22) -- The realization 

of several important objectives 

is a strong possibility 

for you today. Don't be 

afraid to set some goals for 

yourself that are slightly 

larger than you usually 

handle. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) 

-- You have powerful leadership 

qualities today, but 

they are likely to remain 

dormant unless they are 

challenged by developments. 

Once they are, 

however, your assertiveness 

will emerge. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 

22) -- Because you will be 

endowed with clear insight 

today, which others may 

lack, you should have no 

trouble being able to succeed 

in handling a serious 

problem with which another 

can't cope. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 

23) -- Today you may have 

reason to sort out some 

lessons you've learned 

from others. Through 

restructuring your ideas 

you should be able to find 

more practical avenues of 

expression. 

Know where to look for 

romance and you'll find it.

Same Services, Longer Name 

Wilson Animal Hospital has served horsemen 

in — and beyond — Sheridan for over 40 years 

By Pat Blair 

Senior staff reporter 

J.C. Crowley lives in Poplar, Mont. But when his 

calf-roping horse, Rufus, needed a bone chip removed 

from his knee, Crowley brought the animal to the 

Wyoming Equine & Companion Animal Hospital in 

Sheridan. 

"For major stuff like this," Crowley said, "I've been 

coming here at least 15 years." 

The full name of the facility is the Wyoming Equine 

& Companion Animal Hospital in Sheridan at Wilson 

Animal Hospital. 

Possibly not many city residents know the complex 

of buildings and corrals across Jefferson Street from 

Sheridan's YMCA is one of the premier equine facilities 

in the state. 

But horsemen do. 

"We probably see more horses than any clinic in 

Wyoming," said Dr. Lou Solonynka who co-owns the 

facility with his wife, Laura. 

Dr. John Wilson, longtime owner of Wilson Animal 

Hospital before its purchase by the Solonynkas, said 

people have been bringing their horses to the clinic for 

well over 40 years — going back to the days when 

Wilson's father opened the practice. 

The facility has been in primary equine practice for 

20 years, since the Solonynkas bought the practice, 

Wilson said. 

But Lou Solonynka said the clinic may be relocated 

to the Meade Creek area in another year or so. The animal 

clinic's clients are outgrowing the 3.5-acre facility. 

Solonynka already owns the land. He envisions a 

larger facility that could not only handle current surgeries 

and procedures, but also allow expansion of the 

Wyoming Equine hospital's stallion station. 

The clinic's clients come from throughout Wyoming 

— "We get a lot from Gillette," Solonynka said — plus 

North and South Dakota, Billings and southern 

Montana. 

The busy time of the year is summer, Wilson said. 

That's when horse owners bring their mares for breeding. 

Solonynka has his own stallion at the facility — 

Colonel Rey Crickett, a cutting horse who carries 

Colonel Freckles and Peppy San breeding — and the 

clinic has stood stallions owned by other individuals. 

But much of the breeding is by artificial insemination 

— what Wilson jokingly calls "stud-in-a-can." 

Shipped semen is easier to deal with than live stallions,

he and Solonynka explained. 

This past summer, a Billings horse owner brought a 

group of mares to the facility for breeding to Panther 

Mountain, a world champion quarter horse. Panther 

Mountain isn't in Sheridan, but his genes were, in the 

form of frozen semen. 

Breeding season — spring and summer — is busy 

for the clinic. As many as 30 horses may be at the clinic 

during that time, many of them waiting for either 

live breeding or AI. 

In addition to AI, Wilson and the Solonynkas deal 

with all the health problems that horses — and other 

livestock — are prone to. Their services include general 

and arthroscopic surgery, internal medicine, intensive 

care, advanced dentistry and reproduction problems. 

The clinic also provides lameness exams and equine 

sports medicines, embryo transfer and focused extracorporeal 

shockwave therapy, a procedure that — as 

defined on the Internet — makes use of high-pressure, 

low-frequency sound waves to treat affected tissue in a 

site-specific manner. 

It's a procedure that's also used to treat heel pain and 

other problems in humans. 

Journeyman farriers certified by the American 

Farriers Association take care of horses in the clinic's 

podiatry center. 

The facility also makes use of alternative medicines, 

Wilson said, including acupuncture and chiropractic. 

And state-of-the-art equipment, such as a fly table 

that tips up so a horse can be set on its feet when it 

recovers from anesthesia, also helps provide some of 

the latest in equine care. 

The table also forms a restraining chute to help keep 

the horse up, Wilson said. The table is sound enough to 

hold a bull weighing more than 2,000 pounds. Wilson 

knows, because he treated a bull that size. 

"The biggest horse we've had (on the table) was a 

draft horse from Powell," he said. "It weighed a ton." 

A barrage of horse activities in the Sheridan area — 

from polo at the Big Horn Equestrian Center to the 

Sheridan-WYO Rodeo, team penning (introduced this 

year) and the various other rodeos and ropings at the 

Sheridan County Fairgrounds — also keeps the clinic 

busy during the summer. 

The clinic's patients included champion bucking 

horses Remington Steele and Khadafy Skoal. 

"In the summer, it's not unusual to get 10 horses a

The two noted that they found 

an architect "was of little or no value" 

in designing the new facilities, 

"because while most architects have 

had experience with pet hospitals, 

we were unable to find one who 

had any idea of the requirements 

for a combination large and small 

animal hospital." 

The doctors wrote that they 

made their own floor plan, then 

secured an architect to plan the 

types of materials for construction.

Fort Campbell seeks 

to come to grips 

with soldier deaths 

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) 

— For Amy Kost-Hawk, attending 

a ceremony honoring slain soldiers 

from the 101st Airborne Division 

came with a bit of trepidation. 

‘‘This is our first one,’’ Kost- 

Hawk said, ‘‘and we will have 

many more.’’ 

Kost-Hawk, whose husband, 

Sgt. 1st Class Ed Hawk, is awaiting 

deployment to Iraq, was one of 

about 500 people at the Eagle 

Remembrance Ceremony at Fort 

Campbell on Wednesday. The ceremony, 

held outside the 101st headquarters, 

honored soldiers who have 

died in Iraq, but the focus was on 

the deaths of nine recently deployed 

soldiers in one week. 

One of them was Pfc. Tyler R. 

MacKenzie, 20, of Evans, Colo., 

who died with two other soldiers 

from the post on Nov. 2 when a 

roadside bomb detonated near their 

Humvee. 

The gathering, the first of what 

is to be a monthly event to honor 

soldiers deployed to Iraq and those 

who have died, wasn’t specifically 

planned because of the most recent 

deaths but gave the Fort Campbell 

community a chance to gather and 

grieve, chaplain Col. Ronald Crews 

said. 

‘‘Those who have fallen are our 

family, our comrades, our buddies,’’ 

Crews said. ‘‘It is emotional, 

every loss is special because every 

soldier is special.’’ 

The ceremony held at dusk 

included a bugler playing retreat as 

the American flag was lowered to 

half-staff, a bagpiper playing 

‘‘Amazing Grace,’’ the firing of a 

cannon and taps. 

The families of two soldiers, 

Sgt. 1st Class Jonathan Tessar and 

Sgt. 1st Class James Hayes, 

approached a memorial with flowers 

and photographs for a moment 

of silence and were escorted away 

by soldiers. 

As the memorial went on, helicopters 

could be heard flying elsewhere 

on the post, a reminder that 

soldiers are still preparing for war. 

HERE’S WHAT WE NEED: 

Throughout the event, mothers 

with children, wives and family 

members exchanged hugs and 

wiped away tears as chaplains and 

Lt. Col. Jacquelyn Russell, rear 

commander of the 101st Airborne 

Division, paid tribute to the fallen 

soldiers. 

‘‘Each and every one of the soldiers 

died a hero,’’ Russell said. 

‘‘The loss of these great soldiers is 

almost incomprehensible.’’ 

Lauren Loomis, whose husband, 

Lt. Col. Ed Loomis, deployed about 

seven weeks ago, held her 9-weekold 

daughter throughout the ceremony. 

Loomis said the fallen soldiers, 

along with those currently 

deployed, need to be honored for 

their sacrifice and to help the community 

heal. She said she stayed 

close to Fort Campbell while her 

husband is away for those reasons. 

‘‘We chose to stay because we 

are part of a family,’’ she said. 

Coming to grips with the sheer 

number of soldiers killed in such a 

short period of time is proving difficult 

for some, said Sandra Cooper, 

whose husband, Sgt. 1st Class 

Melvin Cooper, has been to Iraq 

four times. 

‘‘I think it did take us by surprise, 

the number of them,’’ Cooper 

said. 

Four Fort Campbell soldiers 

were killed in a roadside bombing 

south of Baghdad on Oct. 31. Two 

days later, MacKenzie, Spc. Joshua 

J. Munger, 22, of Maysville, Mo., 

and Spc. Benjamin A. Smith, 21, of 

Hudson, Wis. died following the 

roadside bombing. 

MacKenzie, who played football 

for Greeley West High School, 

joined the Army in January, following 

in the military footsteps of his 

father and two grandfathers. 

Another Fort Campbell soldier 

died near Taji Sunday when his 

Humvee hit a roadside bomb while 

on patrol and another on Friday 

during combat operations in 

Baghdad. That death is being investigated 

as a possible friendly fire 

incident.

Controversial Iraqi begins D.C. 

visit with meeting with Rice 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Iraqi 

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad 

Chalabi launched his quest for political 

rehabilitation Wednesday with a 

meeting with Secretary of State 

Condoleezza Rice and a polite welcome 

from the White House. 

For Rice, it was an opportunity 

mostly to go over energy and 

finance issues, which Chalabi oversees 

in Baghdad, State Department 

deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said 

The Bush administration has an 

interest in meeting with a wide 

range of Iraqi officials, of which 

Chalabi is only one, Ereli said. 

‘‘It was a good meeting. They 

had a wide-ranging discussion,’’ the 

spokesman said after the half-hour 

session in Rice’s office. 

Chalabi said the meeting went 

‘‘very well.’’ He brushed aside 

questions by reporters on whether he 

had given misleading information to 

the Bush administration before the 

war with Iraq. 

‘‘It’s more important to look to 

the future than to the past,’’ Chalabi 

said. 

At the White House, spokesman 

Scott McClellan, announcing 

Chalabi also would be given a 

chance to see Vice President Dick 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Marine Corps hero 

‘‘Chesty’’ Puller would have been proud to be 

honored with a postage stamp, but he would have 

wanted to include the face of every Marine he 

served with, his daughter said Tuesday. 

Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Puller and three other 

Marines — Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone, Sgt. 

Maj. Daniel J. Daly and Lt. Gen. John A. 

Lejeune — are on a set of four 37-cent stamps 

being unveiled Thursday in ceremonies at the 

Marine Corps Barracks in Washington and Camp 

Pendleton, Calif. The stamps go on sale nationwide 

the same day. 

The Postal Service gets thousands of proposals 

for stamps every year and selects only about 

30 for production.

them,’’ said Martha Puller Downs of Alexandria,

Iraqi government and one 

of a number that we have 

met with in recent 

months.’’ 

‘‘The Iraqi people are 

deciding their future, and 

they have a representative 

government that was elected 

by the Iraqi people,’’ 

McClellan said. ‘‘We are 

very supportive of helping 

the Iraqi people move forward 

and build a democratic 

future.’’ 

On Capitol Hill, Democrats 

greeted Chalabi’s arrival by calling 

on Congress’ Republican-run intelligence 

committees to subpoena him 

to testify about his role in providing 

prewar information about Iraq that 

turned out to be false, and allegations 

that he may be linked to the 

leaking of sensitive U.S. secrets to 

Iran. 

In a letter to the intelligence panels, 

Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and 

Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., wrote 

that rather than meeting with top 

administration officials, testimony to 

those committees 

‘‘would be a more 

appropriate venue for 

an official meeting for 

Mr. Chalabi.’’ 

Standing in a 

State Department doorway 

earlier, Chalabi 

defended his call for 

closer Iraqi relations 

with Iran. The two 

countries have a long 

border and ‘‘we are 

neighbors,’’ he said. 

Chalabi also 

called for improved 

relations with Syria, 

which he said could give Iraq an 

opportunity to try to persuade 

Damascus ‘‘to stop supporting terrorist 

incursions’’ into his country. 

The talks at the State Department 

were declared off-limits to reporters 

and photographers, which is unusual 

since cameras are regularly permitted 

to record the start of Rice’s 

meetings with prominent foreign 

visitors. But without explanation the 

cameras were excluded, as they 

were when Rice met with Chalabi 

two years ago when she was 

President Bush’s national security 

adviser. 

Condoleezza 

Rice 

U.S. Secretary 

of State 

at the Chosin Reservoir, Puller is reported to 

have said: ‘‘They’re on our right, they’re on our 

left, they’re in front of us, they’re behind us; they 

can’t get away from us this time.’’ 

Marines still leave mementoes at Puller’s 

grave. ‘‘They knew he took care of them,’’ 

Downs said. 

Yet growing up, she said, ‘‘I really didn’t 

know him as a legend or hero. I knew him as a 

magnificent father ... he was fun.’’ 

A native of West Point, Va., Puller was a battalion 

commander and regimental commander 

with the 1st Marine Division during World War 

II and the Korean War. During his 37-year 

career, he was awarded 14 personal decorations 

in combat, five Navy Crosses, one Army 

Distinguished Service Cross plus a long list of 

campaign medals, unit citation ribbons and other 

awards. 

Being honored on the other three stamps in 

the set are: 


The State Department’s deputy 

spokesman, Adam Ereli, defended 

the face-to-face meeting with Rice. 

‘‘He is an official and a representative 

of the government of Iraq,’’ 

Ereli said Tuesday. 

The spokesman also noted that 

Chalabi was deeply involved in 

redeveloping Iraq’s energy sector, a 

high U.S. priority. 

Before the ouster of Saddam 

Hussein in 2003, Chalabi, then living 

in exile, was a favorite of the 

Defense Department and the U.S. 

Congress. 

He was seen as a possible leader 

in a post-Saddam era, but fell from 

favor after his claims that Saddam 

possessed doomsday weapons were 

discredited. 

Chalabi, on an eight-day visit, is 

scheduled to meet Monday with 

Defense Secretary Donald H. 

Rumsfeld and with other members 

of Bush’s Cabinet. 

A former banker and MIT graduate, 

Chalabi has been a controversial 

figure on several fronts, accused 

sometimes of being an Iranian. 

Patrick Clawson, of the 

Washington Institute for Near East 

Policy, dismissed the allegation last 

week. 

Four Marine Corps heroes honored on postage stamps 

—Basilone, who won the Medal of Honor in 

World War II. Basilone was cited for holding 

3,000 Japanese soldiers at bay for 72 hours during 

the battle of Guadalcanal with only 15 men, 

12 of whom died in the fight. Sent home to promote 

the sale of war bonds, Basilone requested to 

return to combat and again distinguished himself 

in the battle for Iwo Jima, where he was killed. 

He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross 

and Purple Heart. 

—Daly, who received the Medal of Honor 

twice for separate acts during combat in the 

Chinese Boxer Rebellion and in Haiti protecting 

American lives during an uprising in 1915. 

—Lejeune, who is remembered as a wartime 

commander and the first Marine to command at 

Army division in combat. Lejeune led the 

Army’s 2nd Infantry Division in World War I. 

He is credited with establishing Marine Corps 

institutions and traditions and the Marine base 

located near Jacksonville, N.C. bears his name.

Dr. Gott Dr. Peter Gott 

DEAR DR. GOTT: A young man in my grandson's 

dorm has extraordinary energy and stamina. He is also a 

very excellent student and is truly a very nice person. 

When I asked him how he maintains such energy and 

good health, he replied that his 

bedtime routine has never varied 

since he was 8 years old and is as 

follows: He showers and drinks 

his urine while it is fresh and 

warm and then brushes his teeth 

with peroxide and baking soda 

and never sleeps more than four 

hours a night. 

He was very serious and his 

roommates all verified that they 

saw him go through this ritual 

many times. He said this is the 

time that the body has utilized all 

of the nutrients that it needs and the left over nutrients 

are present for "recycling" without being wasted. My 

question is: Can someone practice this without getting 

ill or doing harm to himself or herself? Have you ever 

heard of this practice before? 

DEAR READER: Your grandson's dorm-mate is 

doing potential harm to himself as well as indulging in 

an unattractive practice. The kidneys extract waste 

products and excrete them in the urine. This is not a 

question of nutrients. The waste need not be "recycled" 

any more than fecal waste needs to be eaten. 

Given his proclivity, I'd be surprised if the young 

man in question has an especially active social life. I 

cannot imagine a cute co-ed standing next to the man 

while he finishes off a 3-ounce shot of urine. "Hi, hon- 

DEAR READERS: Seven years 

ago, I told you about a new program 

called the Legacy Project that had 

been created to honor American 

veterans by preserving their 

wartime letters. I asked you to send 

a photocopy of a favorite war letter 

that you or a loved one had written. 

The response was overwhelming. 

Since its inception in 1998, the 

Legacy Project has received an estimated 

75,000 never-before-seen letters 

from every conflict in our 

nation's history -- including e-mails 

from Iraq and Afghanistan. 

I thought you'd like to know that 

the Legacy Project has just 

announced that the entire collection 

will be donated to the prestigious 

Gilder Lehrman Institute in New 

York City, where the letters will be 

archived for posterity. 

In honor of Veterans Day, I will 

share with you one of the letters 

from the collection. It was handwritten 

by a young soldier named 

Justin Merhoff, who currently 

serves in the U.S. Army and will 

soon be 

deployed to 

Afghanistan. 

It was 

addressed to 

his grandfather, 

Hugh 

Merhoff: 

" D e a r 

Gramps: I 

want to write 

you and let 

you know 

what I am doing these days. I found 

out that my unit was responsible for 

manning five of the 22 funeral honors 

teams that represent the 10th 

Mountain Division. 

"Since I've never been to a 

funeral before, I did not know what 

C3 


ey! Would you like some?" 

I expect she'd be out of there in the count of two. 

I also question his goal of four hours of sleep a 

night. Many scientific studies have linked behavioral 

and cognitive problems to sleep deprivation. Most 

adults need at least six (and preferably eight) hours of 

sleep per 24 hours. 

I suspect that your grandson's dorm-mate is a bright, 

inquisitive, competitive and charming young man, 

despite his bizarre practices. But I honestly believe that 

his behavioral aberrances will not stand him in good 

stead. Please follow up with me if he decides to run for 

President. 

DEAR DR. GOTT: I got head lice when I was working 

as a caregiver. I didn't find out about it for three 

months, because it was the first time I had ever had lice. 

I used shampoo, gel and powder. I washed everything 

with the products as well, and often. I can't get rid of 

them. Are there some pills I can take for it? After 

spending $1,000 for shampoo, gels, spray, powder, 

shaving my head, bagging mattresses and moving three 

times, nothing has worked. This has gone on for two 

years now. Can you please help? 

DEAR READER: Head lice are ordinarily destroyed 

by products, such as Nix. Continued infestation usually 

results from repeated exposure to the lice. 

If you have reached the end of your rope, I urge you 

to see a dermatologist for specific advice.

of the new book "Live Longer, Live Better: Taking 

Care of Your Health" (Quill Driver Books, 

www.quilldriverbooks.com). 

Dear Abby Pauline Phillips and Jeanne Phillips 

to expect. There were times that I 

had to try not to cry after seeing the 

family go through the turmoil that 

death brings. These emotions were 

new to me and were hard to take at 

first. What really got me was that 

there were guys who were not U.S. 

citizens but were fighting for our 

country. I might never have met 

these soldiers, but they are all my 

brothers and sisters in arms. We 

will forever, even in death, be 

bound to each other by our service 

to our country. 

"This whole experience has 

helped me better understand what 

happened during World War II, 

Korea and Vietnam, and the sacrifices 

made by those who served 

honorably -- and by their families. I 

know that you say you do not consider 

yourself a veteran because you 

were drafted and did not see action. 

You used the time you served to 

your advantage and became a doctor. 

You saved countless lives. You 

are the reason I am in the Army 

today. You instilled in me the values 

that you learned during your 

service, and it has made me a better 

soldier. Most important, it has made 

me a better person. -- Love, Justin"

DEAR ABBY: A long time ago 

-- many years, for sure -- you had a 

definition of "maturity" that I kept 

and liked a lot. I can't find it. Can 

you dig it up, please? -- MOTHER 

IN OSCEOLA, ARK. 

DEAR MOTHER: Consider it 

dug. It was penned by my mother: 

This is maturity: To be able to 

stick with a job until it's finished; to 

do one's duty without being supervised; 

to be able to carry money 

without spending it; and to be able 

to bear an injustice without wanting 

to get even. 

Dear Abby is written by Abigail 

Van Buren, also known as Jeanne 

Phillips, and was founded by her 

mother, Pauline Phillips. Write
